	War crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		War crimes include violations of established protections of the laws of war, but also include failures to adhere to norms of procedure and rules of battle, such as attacking those displaying a flag of truce, or using that same flag as a ruse of war to mount an attack.
		War crimes are sometimes part of instances of mass murder and genocide though these crimes are more broadly covered under international humanitarian law described as crimes against humanity.
		War crimes are significant in international humanitarian law because it is an area where international tribunals such as the Nuremberg Trials have been convened.

		However, as the Sino-Japanese War dragged on, the only objectives that bore consideration were: (1) a swift peace between Japan and China; (2) the maintenance of international peace; and (3) the restoration of national power.
		War was decided upon at the Imperial Conference on December 1, 1941, and the shift to real operations was made at this point.
		I believed, and I so recommended, that any criminal responsibility attached to Japanese political leaders for the decision to wage war should be limited to an indictment for the attack on Pearl Harbor, since this act was effected without a prior declaration of war as required by international law and custom.

	War Criminal? - [Sunday Herald]
		He said that while it was possible to argue that Iraq had breached the ceasefire by violating many of the UN resolutions adopted since 1991, the “ownership” of the resolutions rested with the entire 15-member Security Council, not with individual states.
		In the UK, the status of the war in international law was crucial, and not just to satisfy sceptical Cabinet members and Labour backbenchers who were dubious about supporting military action.
		Philippe Sands’s conclusion is that the British government disregarded international law in the pursuit of an illegal war and he believes that is why the government has consistently refused to publish the attorney general’s advice.

		First he postponed the Potsdam Conference and thereby the Russian declaration of war on Japan for two weeks until the bomb was ready and then he had the language for assurances to the Emperor deleted so the Potsdam Declaration would be unacceptable to the Japanese.

	STOP WAR CRIMINAL WESLEY CLARK FROM TESTIFYING IN SECRET
		General Clark is a war criminal and both he and the U.S. government fear being exposed as such.
		The Kosovo war, he writes, "was coercive diplomacy, the use of armed forces to impose the political will of the NATO nations on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, or more specifically, on Serbia.
		The NATO nations voluntarily undertook this war." This means General Clark collaborated in a crime against peace, the most serious of all war crimes.

	Paul Touvier, 81, French War Criminal
		Paul Touvier, the only Frenchman to be convicted of war crimes against humanity and for half a century a troubling reminder of his country's ambivalence about World War II, died Wednesday at a prison hospital near Paris.
		Investigators and French people old enough to remember the war said Touvier was an enthusiastic acolyte to Barbie, and that his crimes went far beyond the deaths of the seven Jews who faced the firing squad at Rillieux-la-Pape.
		He was arrested in 1947 while trying to hold up a bakery, but he managed to escape and lived in hiding with his new wife, Monique, and their daughter, Chantal, and son, Pierre, who survive him.

	Is Bush a War Criminal?
		And count two was "Waging Aggressive War, or Crimes Against Peace." From Casefiles: This evidence was presented by the British prosecutors and was defined in the indictment as "the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances."
		A war crimes investigation is therefore necessary to ascertain whether or not the Bush administration conspired to ignore evidence that Hussein's weapons of mass destruction were indeed already destroyed or did not pose a threat.
		The necessity for a war crimes investigation of Bush is critical to reminding Americans and the world, that the euphoria of US victory must not obscure how serious deception and deceit are to the future of freedom and global peace.

		The so-called “Bush doctrine” is in reality an echo of the illegal Nazi doctrine of “preventive” war, which asserted that any country that may pose a future non-specific threat can be attacked and occupied.
		Add to the mounting evidence against Bush’s criminality the fact that his key advisors are the likes of Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, who have been publicly waging a campaign to attack Iraq since the end of the first Gulf War in 1991.
